SEPTEMBER IS #WORLDKIDLIT MONTH

September is the month to explore and celebrate translated literature for kids & teens. This website is full of resources to help you find children’s and YA books from other countries and cultures.

How to get involved…

Why not post a #shelfie of the translated kids’ books in your collection?

Or join the #worldkidlitmonth challenge: read and review a book for young people translated into English from another language.

See the ABOUT page and the RESOURCES page for more details about #WorldKidLitMonth.

In 2020, we are launching World Kid Lit LIVE! See the EVENTS page for all the info.
